Summary
By assessing the rapid spread and influence of emperor worship during the first century AD, Justin K. Hardin offers a fresh hypothesis for the situation of Paul's letter to the Galatian churches. As such, he contributes to the ongoing debate on the importance of the imperial cult for the social and religious setting of the New Testament era.
